Bridge 99 Brewery is a small-batch craft brewer based in Bend, Oregon, founded by Trever Hawman and Rod Kramer, two friends who left carpentry to pursue brewing. The operation emphasizes sustainable production and the use of fresh, local ingredients, including hops sourced from Tumalo Hop Company in Central Oregon. To minimize waste, it sends spent grain, hops, and yeast to a local ostrich rancher and repurposes grain wastewater as fertilizer on a nearby farm. The name references a regional landmark, Lower Bridge, near Camp Sherman. The company recently expanded into a new facility and tasting room at 63063 Layton Avenue, Bend, signaling growth while keeping a local focus. It positions itself within the food and beverage services sector as a lean, community-oriented operation that prioritizes sustainability and local sourcing in its beer.
